I tried to install FC4, but only had problems with it. So I reinstalled FC3, and now I cannot get the ndiswrapper to work. I know how to install it. I have done it hundred times, but I cannot get it to work. Can someone please help me ASAP?
I have ndiswrapper 1.7 and run the following codes.
Code:
make distclean
make
make install
When I try to load my Windows driver I am told:
Quote:
bash: ndiswrapper: command not found
When I run
Code:
which ndiswrapper
I get:
Quote:
/usr/bin/which: no ndiswrapper in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/ajthornton/bin)
The following is the output from the install
Code:

I know there is a blurb about the 4kb stack, but I have never had any problems with this in the past/
and see if that works. Or edit your .bashrc and put /usr/sbin in your path.
Code:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
make sure you restart your shell/terminal before you try command if trying the path method.
Hope this helps.

[root@thorncom ndiswrapper-1.7]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
Usage: ndiswrapper OPTION
Manage ndis drivers for ndiswrapper.
-i inffile Install driver described by 'inffile'
-d devid driver Use installed 'driver' for 'devid'
-e driver Remove 'driver'
-l List installed drivers
-m Write configuration for modprobe
where 'devid' is either PCIID or USBID of the form XXXX:XXXX
[root@thorncom ndiswrapper-1.7]#
[root@thorncom ndiswrapper-1.7]# install -D -m 755 loadndisdriver /sbin/loadndisdriver
install: cannot stat `loadndisdriver': No such file or directory
What next? Do I need to edit the .bashrc? Is there any problem with doing this?
Have you tried running ndiswrapper as root? I recently installed 1.7 and the only way I can access it is as root (I'm lazy and haven't gotten around to changing the permissions yet)
You seem to have it installed
Code:
[root@thorncom ndiswrapper-1.7]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
Usage: ndiswrapper OPTION
Manage ndis drivers for ndiswrapper.
-i inffile Install driver described by 'inffile'
-d devid driver Use installed 'driver' for 'devid'
-e driver Remove 'driver'
-l List installed drivers
-m Write configuration for modprobe
use the -i option to install the driver and then the -l option to check that it is the right driver.
Then
you might want to make sure your PATH and ROOTPATH variables are all in order. My guess is that everything is installed correctly, but it's not looking in the right places. I know that in Gentoo things like this are located in /etc/env.d/ but FC3 might be different. Best of luck.
After some working I was able to get the ndiswrapper installed and the windows drivers working. However, I am not sure if this is caused by the paths not being correct, I cannot get on the internet with the wireless. I have an ip, but not able to connect to the web. I do not keep the eth0 and wlan0 running at the same time, only done to for obvious reasons.
